Review comment:
       Using safe-copy instead could also work.  SafeCopy (and other methods in 
ubsan.h) are  mostly to avoid undefined behavior.  The most common case of this 
is when trying to read possibly unaligned values.  
   
   SafeCopy is equivelant to the new 
[std::bit_cast](https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/numeric/bit_cast)
